Oregon Big Trees on the Bigfoot Trail

There are big trees on most sections of the Bigfoot Trail. However, an exceptional collection can be found along a short stretch of trail in Section 17. Only 15 miles of the trail are in Oregon and along three of those miles, with a little searching, the Oregon champion incense-cedar, a 31′ circumference Douglas-fir, and the Oregon Champion Brewer spruce can be found.

Along section 17 of the Bigfoot Trail, one can find the (1) Oregon champion incense-cedar (2) a 31′ circumference Douglas-fir and (3) the Oregon Champion Brewer spruce.

In early August 2020, board president Michael Kauffmann led a group of botanists to see the botanical wonders along this section of trail, soak in the view from Tanner Mountain, and enjoy some really big trees.
